In today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, we’re starting with a little business first. Then we’ll tell you about two new 3D printers, and then move on to 3D printed homes, 3D printed eardrums, and 3D printed jewelry. Read on for the details!
BCN3D Opens US Logistics Center
Barcelona-based 3D printing solutions manufacturer BCN3D has expanded to North America, strengthening its ties on the continent by opening a new logistics center in New Jersey and appointing experienced AM industry sales executive Kevin Billett as the new Channel Sales Manager, who will build on relationships with current resellers in North America and lead the expansion of the team there. The decision to open the New Jersey logistics center is in response to BCN3D’s major growth in North America, with more customers in industries like manufacturing, engineering, and automotive adding the company’s 3D printers and Smart Cabinets to their workflows. This new centralized North American hub will allow for stronger relationships with current partners, such as Dynamism and Matterhackers, and offer better, faster, more environmentally sustainable services to customers here.
“Our expansion to the US is an important milestone for BCN3D, as it indicates that the company is now fully capable of meeting the needs and demands of BCN3D partners and customers in the region,” said Xavier Martinez Faneca, CEO of BCN3D. “The new center in New Jersey will offer great business opportunities there from 2022 onwards, enhance our relationship with customers, and represent BCN3D’s commitment to environmental sustainability as we consolidate larger shipments for more customers with a logistics hub closer to them in North America.”
Wematter Releases Gravity 2022 SLS 3D Printer
SLS 3D printer manufacturer Wematter introduced its flagship Gravity 2021 system at Formnext 2020, and recently released the latest version of the user-friendly printer. With improved repeatability and adapted for global expansion, the new Gravity 2022 is made to withstand harsh environments, able to print with more materials that can withstand fire and electrostatic discharges, and allows users to scan each individual powder package so they don’t load the wrong kind. The company began participating in international trade last year, and its SLS printers are being used in places with varying temperature and climate conditions; that’s why the Gravity 2022 includes individual cooling systems and better component selection. Because Wematter values sustainability, several components in the Gravity 2022 were replaced in order to decrease its power consumption by 25%, and the printer’s proprietary electronics were redesigned to fit a higher volume context and be less affected by the global …….
